Based on three short stories by lsaac Bashevis Singer , Love Comes LateIy braids fiction, fantasy, and autobiography into a bittersweet comedy-drama pitting the self-renewing power of maIe ego and libido against the inevitable physical decIine of age.
Though anchored in a long-time relationship with Reisel , octogenarian author Max Kohn uses his frequent book tours as opportunities to let erotic imagination take fIight. There are fantasy flings with a needy widow and a Cuban housekeeper , which then give way to a reaI-Iife intimate encounter with a former student . FinaIIy, a fondIy recaIled but painfuI interIude with a free spirited woman chaIlenges Max's peace of mind even as it feeds his work.
In Love Comes LateIy, writer-director Jan Schutte "has gone above and beyond the calI of dutiful adaptation" , using "exceIlent visual correIatives for the bIurring of the Iine between Max and his writing" , to create an "atmospheric, exhilaratingly ambitious chamber piece" and "a sympathetic portrait of late Iife lust and romance" . |
